Hoist? Awesome.

Medix is meh, but at least the design rocks. I hope he's fun in-show.

Nice! New RB toys! If the toy line is doing well probably the TV show will continue!
And the TV show is very very good.

My main problem with Rescue Bots is that the toys looks for an younger public than the show. I would like some "upgraded" Rescue Bots toys.

A rescue boat character would be a nice addition.

I was half hoping they might reissue some of the old Playskool ones as a Rescuebots sub-brand as they are terrific toys.

I thought the auto-transform feature would be great, but my sons end up trying to do the transformation in parts and get frustrated that they can not.

I hope the stores that still carry this line can sell through the previous cases with 2 each of Prime and Bumblebee so they can get this new assortment.

^^'Tis true, sharpfinger..usually they are located in the pre-school areas, noticed that today when I was at TRU.
Wow, WAVE 5 of RB toys! Yay.
Nice to see they're expanding the toy line, wonder if it has anything to do with the season ending episodes???...they'd have to rewrite the opening lyrics if they add more bots in the show.

Not really wanting them to add more bots in the series, I like the Bots and humans as is.

I hope Medix is German.

My opinion of the two bots' instruction images: Not bad, not bad.

Okay, now we have the VA for him.

Make it happen, Hasbro.

Looking forward to seeing 'em, and a little curious that I didn't hear anything about them out of SDCC.
